By: Edmond Liu, Serena Williams, & Cleavon Shuler Jr.

2. New York
New York City is a humid subtropical climate (Koppen Cfa). This means that it is a zone of hot or humid summers and mild to cold winters.
It is usually 5-7 degrees (Fº) warmer overnight than other surrounding areas. (Good or Bad?)
An effort to change this is that rooftops of buildings are being painted white so that there is an increase in the reflection of solar energy.

3. Solution to air pollution:
New York is a humid subtropical climate. (Therefore its warmer at night than other cities) (information)
Solution to air pollution:
Solar power
Causes:
Air in the atmosphere is filled with particulate matter
Carbon Monoxide
Burning of fossil fuels (Cars)
Effects:
Rising temperature
Sea Level increase
Natural causes
Glacier melting

9. Solutions to Sea Level Rise (Forbes)
“Saving New York From Sea-Level Rise Could Cost $120 Billion”
New York City itself has about $170 billion worth of property (at risk)
NYC would have to install a meter of flood protection by 2030 and 2.5 meters by 2100
One meter of flood protection is worth about $50 billion.
2.5 x $50 billion = $125 - $150 billion
